bluesofty 16-07-2008, 18:55: Anyone coming to Bournemouth or Poole?
emmar 26-07-2008, 19:00: Hello :) Ah if only I had discovered this earlier! Myself and my OH got cheap flights so decided to come and visit (id previously only been to monkeyworld and Bath in 1979!!). I loved the little towns of Dorset but was disappointed with Bournemouth. Are there any quirky places to go to that make Bournemouth a place for me to go back to?
bluesofty 26-07-2008, 19:03: I’m not a fan of Bournemouth myself - too many drunks. Poole is fun and lots of great pubs in the country….
emmar 26-07-2008, 19:19: Yeah it seemed to be full of the, how do I say this to be polite, get drunk in the sun brigade - not that Im against that, but not cheap lager! - cries into her chardonnay ;-)
bluesofty 26-07-2008, 19:20: Yup, pretty much sums up Bournemouth!
emmar 26-07-2008, 19:31: oh noes i am indeed an alcohol snob.
bluesofty 26-07-2008, 20:25: No, Bourmouth has the alter ego of an alcoholic’s paradise!
TQ2boyz 28-07-2008, 14:59: Ladies,although I have not been back to my old stomping ground in a while,I trained in Bournemouth in the 80’s and it was a sedate seaside resort then which was just beginning to push itself as a younger resort.
I take it from your comments that it now suffers in much the same way as Newquay and my beloved Torquay from the Wayne and Waynetta brigade pre-wedding and couldn’t afford Prague or Ibiza!
Shame,I am bringing my beloved down there to a uni-reunion in October and staying at the Roundhouse Hotel.
bluesofty 28-07-2008, 18:08: Roundhouse is OK, somewhat close to the redlight….
emmar 02-08-2008, 05:27: Indeed TQ2boyz, unfortunately it suffers from a bit of oh im not going back there. Roundhouse near the redlight you say, gawd if i knew that….
bluesofty 02-08-2008, 11:59: Lol, not that near lol lol lol
Randolph 03-08-2008, 18:42: I’ve gotta go to BM monthly for work and thought I’d check out this site for inside info. Findings: pretty much zero! What’s all this lollollol stuff - does it have some special meaning for locals?
bluesofty 03-08-2008, 22:26: Laugh out loud. Poor emmar was apalled. Where do you work in Bournemouth?
